If Megaships can be attacked by a squadron of players and defended by another squadron surely this should be open only content or you will have players killing off other factions Megaships in the privacy of their own server where the owning faction can do nothing about it?
Modes Mega ships open only content?

- Start date
Here we go again. Nothing will ever be open only. It's a shared universe and clearly that's very important to FD.
Also what if your squadron is purely on PC and someone attacks the capital ship on a PS4 in open mode? Let's not open this box.
On a side note: Any open only content locks out all console peeps who don't have PS+/Gold. Not cool.

Wow seriously? We still flogging this nonsense?
ED is not an mmo, it is not an “open only” experience. By FDev’s actions at every turn this is the case. I am not a solo only player but I absolutely object to those players constantly being treated as second class players by some of you. Get over it. Solo mode is good for the game but it’s different. Just that. Jeez after 5 years I would have thought we’d be past this tosh.

It would seem not - if you mean Megaship scenarios that form part of the BGS - given Will's restatement of Frontier's stance on the BGS in the recap thread from last night's stream:
If you mean Fleet Carriers - who knows - as we have no information regarding when (or if) they will be introduced.

Indeed - we've yet to hear the outcome of that Flash Topic.
Didnt that get nerfed down to PP Open bonuses before we never heard from it again?
it should indeed, and would be a good occasion to introduce such a change with minimal 'you took my content away!' whining, since it is new content. but for some reason i doubt so. i'm starting to think the faint glimpse of revolution sandro tried to spark in his last days have been drown by the new leadership. durr, it was a very weak bet anyway so ... embrace multi-solo, and chant along: hossana! hossana!
But if you're playing in solo (or PG) on the same platform as them they can't shoot you (or anyone else who shuns Open), surely you understand that? Wasn't there a big grumble in the recent past about folk playing in solo/pg UA bombing something or other?
I play solo/pg as I really don't want to be bothered by other players who 'live' their PP or other fantasies - if PvP could be nominated in open (I assume it is the PvP fans advocating Open only?) by doing something simple like switching off the 'Report Crimes Against Me' button (being invisible to PvP or PP players if on) we could all exist happpily in Open, but as it is unlikely to happen let's keep the Status Quo

Powerplay is under consideration to be open only
.... or possibly Open play bonus - or maybe the status quo - we don't yet know what the result of the Flash Topics will be....
Well wouldnt it be easy to request my mega ship be on PC only and not Xbox and Playstation as we don't have players on the other platforms to defend it and still keep it open only? Anyway cross platform will be coming soon so open only would be fine
